SAP HANA is an in-memory data platform that is deployable as an on-premise appliance or in the cloud. It is a revolutionary platform that’s best suited for performing real-timeanalytics and now real-time transactions, but also for developing and deploying real-timeapplications. At the core of this real-time data platform is the SAP HANA database, which is fundamentally different from any other database engine in the market today.
